Inonotus dryadeus-

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Rob, yes, very similar, thanks. Your pic shows it spreading callus from a collar, but it often takes off from a point not near an apparent node.

 

Note *past tense*, hama. So you are off the hook. Inosculation has "blend" in its definition so close but no cigar.

 

I prefer "shield"; connotes armoring and protection, and flatness.

 

I. dryadeus looks similar uk or us--one thing we have in common at least!

 

but what we dont share is the effects, it is far more serious for you guys:001_smile:

It does make trees fall over, but several have been ringed with conks for many years with minimal crown effects, sort of like the case studies I have seen of European beech ringed with Merip that get managed indefinitely.

Not in the UK; who said that? Why so jumpy today? Chill, mon, chill.

Germany I believe. Seen pics of 2 different treees (one showing consecutive years of tomographs), in peer-reviewed presentations by published tree risk managers. Don't shoot me; I was only the piano player--er, audience member.

It's like the oak i showed ringed by Big old inonotus conks--target rating very low--only the grass cutting personnel go under it with any regularity, amenity high (sunny side of office bldg) so risk is tolerated. What else?

Now my dear dear sweet guy, just so everyone understands that what you have said above is regurgitated BS from notes drawn by you for representation both here and elsewhere.

 

You are very well known on the circuit, and your reputation is not as an organ grinder but as the organ grinders monkey, and karma dictates that I must at least offer you some parting advice to keep you from falling foul.

 

Develop your own ideas, and work HARD and youll get the recognition and lifestyle you so desperately crave, and remember always that in SOME countries they still eat monkies.

 

When I said i would hunt you down, i was not referring to Gun totting shannigans but that you would feel chased and harassed as you have done to me, and some of my friends surreptitiously.

 

The hunt my dear lad is now on, youll know when I am behind you.

 

Enjoy France Guy.
